Hailing from the alluvial plains and terraces of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the Northern Rhône, Delas 'Les Launes' Blanc is a classic expression of the region's white winemaking heritage. The wine is crafted from Marsanne and Roussanne grapes, which are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their delicate primary aromas and crisp acidity. This careful, protective winemaking style avoids oak aging to highlight the pure, vibrant notes of white peach, apricot, and white flowers, underpinned by a subtle minerality characteristic of the local soils.
